I take that back.. (as I get up and make a pizza, hot wings, separate the baby and puppy 58 times!) Ahh.. the joys of motherhood. So earlier today Connor and I made a fruit tart to add to Brad's Father's Day gifts. I would tell you the rest of the surprise, but it's just that and will have to wait until Monday. =) Speaking of, Connor's second Mommy and Me class at "The Little Gym" is on Monday! I don't know if any of you have your children in a mommy and me class, but trust me it's SOO worth the money. They will love it. Anywho that's another post for another day. Like I was saying we made a fruit tart, which is DELICIOUS! My one mistake was using a generic pie crust from good ole' Walmart. It just crumbled to pieces the second I started. Next time I will have to attempt making my own. So with it being so close to both Memorial Day and 4Th of July (& my husband being in the Navy) I figured we'd not only tell him what a fabulous dad he is, but thank him for his service as well. So no more waiting here it is..
Our Kitchen Adventure..
What you'll need:
- 1 pie crust
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 cup halved strawberries
First step - Mix the cream cheese, almond extract and sugar together in a bowl.
Works better with a blender =)
It should look something like this.
After licking the spoon and blender, put mixture in pie crust and spread around.
Next you need to decide on a pattern, like I said we were doing patriotic so we made a star and added a border.
Of course we had to try them first, ya know to make sure they were good =)
Apparently he didn't like them, but Yogi does!
Our looked like this...
Then you slice up the strawberries into halves, and place them in the middle.
THE END!!
Mmmmm
